Well it’s our day of rest. And resting we’re doing. Anka even didn’t make breakfast until 9. That poor woman seems exhausted. That’s the first time I’ve seen her sort of cranky. But her version of cranky is mild compared to what it could be. We had french toast for breakfast and then I gave …

Trixie’s Thoughts On Dog Day
Carin’s been acting all weird today. She says we’ve been together for one year. I happen to think she’s wrong. It’s been 7, doesn’t she know? After all, I am the time expert. I remember the first day I met her. It was a weird day right from the beginning. First, the people who took …
You Will Be Receiving A Female Black Lab And Her Name Is…
Do you know what today is? Believe it or not, today is the first anniversary of the day that Trixie came into my life. I know I wrote a journal entry for the day, but so much was going on that I couldn’t capture the amount of detail that I wanted to. So now that …

The Babs Journal: Day 6 (May 14, 2005
I apologize for not being as animated the last two days in my writing. It looked more like a captain’s log than a journal. It’s just so hard to fit it all in and remember everything and all that. Well, I’m not as tired as I thought I’d be today since I didn’t make it …
The Babs Journal: Day 5 (May 13, 2005)
This will be a bit of a flurry…am writing at 10 o’clock…busy day. Let’s see. After the usual morning routine, which included a pretty hard bonk from Babs’s head, ouch, my nose still hurts, while she was trying to say hello, we went for breakfast. pretty uneventful I think, although today is a bit of …
The Babs Journal: Day 4 (May 12, 2005)
I don’t have long to write in this, have to go again and take her for busy and then go for another half-hour stroll. Let’s see, didn’t do much last night except be amazed by her good behaviour as I fought with the computer and the dialup internet, at least it feels like dialup here…spent …
The Babs Journal: Day 3 (May 11, 2005)
Well, after she actually slept in my room, not on her dog bed I might add, but on the floor, she gave me a morning greeting of a sniff and a lick. We got up, I had a shower, we busied, don’t know if she actually busied, I fed her, she busied again, well I …
The Babs Journal: Day 2 (May 10, 2005)
Well, apparently this afternoon I get my puppy. Still don’t know anything about it. We did a handle walk already. It was a little easier than the one I did at the interview, probably because I’d been warned about the details of it from the interview. It was cool. It’s really weird telling Tim to …
The Babs Journal: Day 1 (May 9, 2005)
I tried to enclose the actual journal in block quotes, because from time to time, I have to make remarks on what happened, notes from now to my past self, if you will. So off we go. Here I am. Holy shit. I stayed up all night last night because I’m a big dope and …
The Long-Lost Babs Journals
Believe it or not, we’re coming up on a year of Trixie goodness. I left last March 18 and took that big plane-ride to California and had no idea about my dog. All I knew was they’d founda match. This got me thinking about all things dog, and I thought about doing something weird. Back …
